Northvancouverpolitics.com has been covering North Vancouver political issues for almost four municipal elections cycles. It usually gets a little more exciting around here during an election year and in fact the blog was born in 2005 primarily to cover that years' election. On that note, the blog would like to extend an invitation to all candidates who are planning to run in this November's Election to email us here at northvancouverpolitics.com with your views, candidacy profiles, and platforms etc. for posting here so that the community may become just that much more informed as to who they are voting for.

Bosa and Chris Dikeakos Architects have applied to the District of North Vancouver with a revised development proposal for the Lynn Valley Centre site.

Given that yet another storefront has gone empty in the mall, it's probably important that this application be made a priority.

The new application fits within the guidelines established last year for the redevelopment of this property, and reflects the long term goals found in the DNV Official Community Plan.

On an aesthetic standpoint the proposal does a nice job of continuing the "Mountain Village" feel found in the Library complex, and recent developments on the opposite side of 27th Street. It will be nice to lose the 1970's shopping mall to an updated look that fits our outdoor oriented locale.

And of course the residential buildings are capped at only twelve stories.
